1992: THE CAST OF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

WHAT WE SAID THEN ''Step one: Something happens. You know this because it's on the front page of every newspaper. Step two: That something is permanently woven into the fabric of pop culture. You know this because it turns up on Saturday Night Live. Clinton, Bush, and Perot. Gore, Quayle, and Stockdale. Woody, Soon-Yi, and Mia. Regis and Kathie Lee. They coexist, immortalized in mockery, alongside some slightly less real but no less famous names: Wayne and Garth; Hans and Franz, and Dieter; Jan Brady; Nat X; Mr. Subliminal; Cajun Man; Opera Man; Middle-Aged Man; Queen Shaniqua; Stuart Smiley.'' —Mark Harris
